  • Morning…

    Morning sun streams in
    Spidery shadows on the ground
    Oaks in winter dawn

  • At Two…

    At Two…

    I will say no when I mean yes,
    I will say no when I mean no.
    When you answer the phone,
    I will spit out my water and play in it.
    When you write an email I will demand to be on your lap.
    Oh, and trust me everything tastes better when it comes from your plate.
    At two I will be contrary just because I can…
    Yet at two,
    I will learn to dance, Even when people are looking.
    I will sing and, applaud myself.
    I will give you hugs and kisses so full of love they will make you cry.
    I will smile and try to tell you about my day.
    I will always be excited when you come home.
    Two comes only once…
    At two I will sing, I will count, I will have fits.
    At two I know I love you, and I know you love me.

  • Haiku: I Left…

    My heart breaks today
    I saw flowers on the table
    His name on the card
